Lyrics

It's not all about the money
(It's not all about the money)
Cause I love what I'm doing for the people
(I really love doing my job, I really do)
Don't know were I would be if this didn't happened
(You know...)
But I finally made it..
(A lot of us don't graduate from high school
A lot us don't get a chance at being a superstar
A lot us don't get a chance to fulfill our dreams and I'm thinking like god!
If I wasn't doing this what would I be doing?
Probably like braiding hair
Working at a super market. you know?
Just hustling two jobs you know what I mean?
At least trying to live.)
La, la, la, la
(I lost so much you know?
I lost so, so much over the years cause like it's amazing
How when you decide that you wanna do the right thing
When I say I "finally made it"
I don't mean like successfully, or wit money, I mean like..
I'm spiritually successful right now. you know like trying...)
Never give up, never give up, never, never give up, never give up..
(I'm on my way to like... a place were I know..
I never dreamed were I would be and that's perfection..
I'm striving for that..
I don't think no one can ever be perfect
I'm striving again, striving against all things..
So what I'm saying to all my fans is..
